Nye Viking CW "Master Key" and other CW keys for sale

Nye Viking "Master Key" Model 330-001
>From their web page:
The perfect straight key. Complete with cord and plug -- 
ready to use! Isolated contact assembly separates keying 
circuit from hardware. Includes gold-plated copper contacts, 
adjustable key arm, Navy knob and heavy die-cast base. 
These are about $80 new.  This works like new, and looks
like new.  This one is only $55.

Military J-38 key
This is the "standard" straight key that has been used by
The military for years and years.  Shorting switch is included,
along with many adjustments, so it can suit your fist.  The 
black bakelite base is on a heavy aluminum base to keep 
it from moving around, and also has a long coiled cord with 
1/4 inch plug.  Everything is in very nice shape for $50.

E.F.Johnson Solid Brass Straight Key
This one is still in the E.F.Johnson box, brand
new. The box has a Central Scientific Corp
label over top of the E.F. Johnson label. The
key is all brass, with a shorting switch, and is
basically J-38 style. The base has E.F. Johnson
cast in it, and the key itself has a serial
number inscribed on it. The brass has a patina
that would be expected of older metal. $75

J-38 Japanese copy, with shorting switch
This is not the real think, but is a Japanese copy.
The metal is simply brass colored , but it does
have a shorting switch and ball bearings. $20

Generic key
This is a generic CW straight key with a plastic 
base. It is nothing fancy, but it will do the job.
$12 

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
